Great Show. Co-Headliners. Alternating headliner spots on the tour. If this tour comes through your town, i highly recommend going.

MGMT play a great show that is heavy on the synths, and really great to dance to. I saw them open for Of Montreal a couple months back, and loved them then. It was nice to see them in a much more intimate venue, with more time on the stage. The played a really tight set, and kicked it off with this great new 10 minute unreleased track. When i spoke to the frontman last time i saw them he said they were gearing up to release a single with this as a b-side. it isn't out yet, so i don't know when we will get it. But if this is any indication of their future sound, i am ready for them to hit the studio and give me some more great music. They hit up letterman a couple weeks ago, and i was pretty impressed with there performance on the show. The one think i want to know is why they left Kids out of their set-list, Easily one of my favorite tracks on Oracular Spectacular and when they said last song, and it wasn't Kids a bunch of spectators were a bit disappointed.

And then we have Yeasayer, and what can i say, i wasn't too captivated by their album All Hour Cymbals but i must say, i can see what all of the buzz is about this band. They were named one of the Seven bands from SXSW that will matter and i agree 100%. When i found out they were closing the show, well i was a bit happy, because i figured i could get out of there a little early and beat the traffic. well, once their set started, i was captivated and didn't leave early like i planned on. a great show with some rad sounds coming from the drum machine and synths.

If you have the opportunity to see this show, take it. They are playing smaller venues, so tickets are relatively cheap. Take this opportunity and have a great night witnessing what i think are two bands that will be capturing audiences for years to come.
